Throughout her three and a half years as Joe Biden’s deputy, the first female, black, and South Asian American vice president has attended this kind of event on a regular basis. Typically, she is followed by a small press pack that is dwarfed by the group that follows the president.
However, the number of reporters following Ms. Harris had increased to dozens as terrified Democrats in Washington, thousands of miles away, considered replacing 81-year-old Joe Biden as the party’s nominee for the election in November after his appalling and occasionally incomprehensible debate performance against Donald Trump.
The vice president chose not to respond to circulating concerns regarding Mr. Biden’s suitability for office or whether he ought to step down and pass the reins to her while on stage or during her weekend-long travels.
However, as she talked to her New Orleans audience on desire and how to carve out your own path, she urged them not to listen to doubters.

She has stood up for her boss ever since the disastrous debate on June 27th, saying that his presidential record shouldn’t be overshadowed by ninety minutes on a debating platform.
